I was actually told a long time ago that the saying I was looking for was "vive quoditie ut si ulimus hic esset tibi dies." But now that I am getting it on my body, I wanted to make absolutely certain that was what it actually said.

I'd replace ut si with quasi, and ulimus should be ultimus. Otherwise this seems fine. To make it 'tomorrow,' replace hic with posterus.

Watch out. Quoditie is a misspelling of quotidie meaning daily or every day. Other than that it means, "Live every day as if the following day is your last." I think that's pretty close to what you're asking for.

as with a lot of people i'm hoping to get a tattoo and was looking for help. I don't want to get carpe diem as a lot of people have this already. I was hoping for 'live each day as if it were your last' or 'live everyday as if it were your last'. I had been told 'vive omnem diem quasi cras sit ultimus' which I like, but was unsure if this was accurate? Or 'in diem velut supremum vive'. My other option is simply vive ut vivas......'live that you might live'?

That’s a perfectly fine literal translation, except that I’m not sure that a direct object for vive is permitted.
